Quality and level

Quality makes an item stronger at its own level. A level-up turns it into the next item of its line, which asks a higher level and has higher stats.

Quality

Take the item and your Red Stones to Beirut [Cronus 306,507].

Upgrade	Red Stone chance	Stats
Normal to Refined	30%	105%
Refined to Unique	12%	115%
Unique to Elite	6%	130%
Elite to Super	4%	150%

Stats are the item’s attack and defence, compared with its Normal version.

• A Super Red Stone always works, at any of these steps.
• If a Red Stone fails, you lose the stone. The item keeps its quality.
• On average, Normal to Super takes about 53 Red Stones.
• Every success writes your name on the item as its Forger.

A success can also bring extras:

• Element points: about 2 in 5 successes add 1 to 5 points of Earth, Water, Fire or Wind Attack.
• F-soul: from Elite to Super on, each success has a 3% chance to give the item an F-soul, if it has none yet.

Past Super, gear goes Divine with God Tears. See Divine gear.

Level

Take the item and your Violet Stones to Angelina [Cronus 316,501].

• Quality, bonus, sockets and gems all carry over to the new item, and its durability fills up.
• A Super Violet Stone always works.
• If a Violet Stone fails, you lose the stone. The item stays as it was.
• You can level an item past your own level. You just can’t wear it until you get there.

A Violet Stone’s chance depends on the level the item asks now:

• Weapon: always up to level 18. Then 50% at 21 to 31, 35% at 36 to 45, 25% at 51 to 60, 20% at 66 to 75, 15% at 81 to 90, 8% at 92 to 96, and 3% from 98.
